  • MCT CONSIDERS CHANGES to SENIOR FREE RIDE PROGRAM MCT Will Host Public Meetings June 7-8, 2011
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information, contact: Jerry Kane Madison County Transit (618) 797-4600 MCT CONSIDERS CHANGES TO SENIOR FREE RIDE PROGRAM MCT will Host Public Meetings June 7-8, 2011 GRANITE CITY, ILL., MAY 16, 2011… Madison County Transit (MCT) is hosting three meetings to solicit public comment on proposed changes to the Senior Free Ride Program for its fixed-route service. If approved, MCT will conform to Illinois Public Act 96-1527 and only provide free rides on its fixed route for seniors who qualify based on age and income level. The change would take effect in August 2011. In January 2008, the Illinois General Assembly approved former Governor Blagojevich’s amended Mass Transit Bill, which provided free rides on transit for Illinois residents, age 65 and up. In February of this year, Governor Quinn signed legislation to reform the Senior Free Rides program, limiting the program to only those seniors who earn less than $27,610 for a one-person household, $36,635 for a two-person household and $45,657 for a three-person household. MCT Public meeting dates, times and locations to discuss the changes are listed below: Tuesday, June 7 (2:00 – 3:00 p.m.) MCT Granite City Station Wednesday, June 8, (2:00 – 3:00 p.m.) MCT Alton Station Wednesday, June 8, (6:00 – 7:00 p.m.) MCT Edwardsville Station Comments at the public meetings will be summarized and presented to the MCT Board of Trustees for consideration. Individuals who cannot attend the meetings but would like to comment, should e-mail [email protected] or send a letter to: Madison County Transit, Attn: Senior Free Ride Comments, One Transit Way, PO Box 7500, Granite City, IL 62040.

    State of Illinois Bruce Rauner, Governor Illinois Department of Transportation Randall S. Blankenhorn, Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: September 15, 2017 Guy Tridgell 312.793.4199 Kelsea Gurski 217.782.3030 Alton Regional Multimodal Station Opens Latest station in Chicago-St. Louis improvements provides convenient travel option ALTON – The Illinois Department of Transportation was joined today by the City of Alton and Amtrak to announce the completion of the new Regional Multimodal Transportation Center. The new Alton station, the latest of several station improvements overseen by IDOT along the Chicago-St. Louis passenger rail corridor, opened to Amtrak service Wednesday, Sept. 13. “This beautiful new transportation center is one more step in a statewide effort to enhance the passenger rail experience along the Chicago-St. Louis corridor,” Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said. “Travelers in Alton will enjoy a reliable, convenient options to get to where they want to go, while the region benefits from a new station that will help to create economic opportunity for years to come.” The new 8,000-square-foot facility will not only serve passengers on Amtrak’s Lincoln and Texas Eagle trains, but provide an important connection to the eight bus bays for the new Madison County Transit transfer hub. Combining the train station and transit hub in the same facility increases a passenger’s ability to make bus and train connections. Other features include free Wi-Fi, 227 parking spaces, 12 bike lockers, six bike racks and accommodations for customers with disabilities.

  • Madison County Metrolink Study Open Houses
    DECEMBER 2004 OPEN HOUSES Welcome to the fi rst round of public open houses for the Madison County MetroLink Feasibility Study. The purpose of this 10-month study is to explore the feasibility of extending light rail into Madison County. This means that a MetroLink route will not be selected at the end of the study. Instead, valu- able technical information and public input will be collected then reviewed by local offi cials. They will then determine whether light rail is a viable transit option that should be pursued for Madison County. If it is, detailed planning studies will need to be conducted in order to select a preferred specifi c route. East-West Gateway Council of Governments, our metropolitan area’s transportation planning agency, and its consultants are managing this feasibility study. Supporting the study team is a Policy Advisory Committee made up of 18 community leaders. Madison County Transit is funding the study. In preparing for tonight’s open house, the consulting team studied the county’s existing and future conditions including population density, employment density and households with no cars. In addition, we interviewed several area stakeholders and conducted focus groups to get a feel for the transportation, economic development and other issues facing the county. Then we used all of this information to develop the study’s goals, or in transit planning terms the study’s “Purpose and Need” statement, and to develop potential MetroLink routes for Madison County. Tonight we present the information we have gathered thus far to get your feedback. We need to know your thoughts on our “Purpose and Need” statement.
